Hello junkfoodies and fellow BevNerdians! Welcome to the first review of my BevNerd tribute week. For more info on the tribute, visit this post.The first review I'm going to do is of Zapp's Spicy Cajun Crawtators. Jason from BevNerd reviewed these on January 28th Episode 33. You can watch his review below, at the end of my post. I've been assured by my former-Louisiana-inhabiting boyfriend that Zapp's Spicy Cajun Crawtators are a Louisiana brand. This means 2 things. 1) The closer you are to Louisiana the cheaper they'll probably be and 2) they taste pretty authentic. I bought mine from World Market so I knew they were going to be a little pricey. They definitely don't break the bank or anything though.
These chips are kettle cooked, which I love, so they’re nice and crunchy and satisfying. When I opened my bag I noticed that mine were a different color from Jason’s. Mine were darker and way more seasoned. I tasted much more of the spices than he did. They taste almost like a barbeque chip with some zing (or zap, if you will). I don’t know how many of you have tried Tony Chachere’s seasoning but this chip tastes like it was lightly seasoned with Tony’s. If you haven’t tried Tony’s, this chip does have a cajun taste and some spice. If you’re partial to kettle cooked chips and/or cajun spices I definitely recommend these. They are really good!
